We honestly had such a lovely stay at this lodge. It’s right in the middle of nowhere, which was exactly what we were looking for, with the most amazing views. It was the perfect place to switch off and enjoy some proper peace and quiet.The lodge was beautiful, really clean and spacious, with absolutely everything we could have needed. It was so well equipped and comfortable, and you could tell a lot of thought had gone into making it feel welcoming.We genuinely didn’t want to leave and would happily come back. A really special place and one we’d definitely recommend.

We spent the most relaxing week at Ash Lodge. It was excellent, everything from the peaceful location (listening to the birds all day and seeing the beautiful wildlife) to the hot tub! So relaxing and we were able to totally unwind and switch off. There are some great little towns 10-20mins drive away and plenty to see and do in the area and further afield. The host was friendly and gave us great tips on where to visit for the best coffee (a must for me) and for local food. The lodge had everything we needed and was so clean, totally 5 star 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
